Description

Begin your day with a hassle-free hotel pickup. Relax in a private, air-conditioned vehicle as your guide shares fascinating insights into the history of Ayutthaya during the scenic drive north. Wander through the manicured gardens of Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon and climb its towering chedi. Once a royal monastery for monks, this temple offers panoramic views and a peaceful introduction to Ayutthaya’s spiritual past. Discover Wat Mahathat, home to Ayutthaya’s most iconic image — the Buddha head entwined in tree roots. Stroll through the atmospheric ruins and learn how this temple once safeguarded sacred relics of the Buddha. Continue to Wat Ratchaburana, founded by King Borommarachathirat II in the 15th century. Explore its impressive prang and intricate stucco details, and hear the story of the royal treasure once discovered in its crypt. Just nearby, walk through the serene grounds of Wat Phra Ram, built on the cremation site of King Ramathibodi I. Its elegant Khmer-style prang rises above tranquil lotus ponds, offering a beautiful glimpse into Ayutthaya’s early architectural charm. Stand where kings once prayed at Wat Phra Si Sanphet, the former royal temple of the Ayutthaya palace complex. Admire the three majestic chedis and imagine the grandeur of ancient royal ceremonies held here. Take in the serene presence of the 37-meter-long Reclining Buddha at Wat Lokayasutha, resting peacefully among the temple’s crumbling remains — an ideal spot for reflection and stunning photos. Conclude your journey at Wat Chaiwatthanaram, a riverside masterpiece inspired by Khmer architecture. Marvel at its symmetrical spires and dramatic silhouette as the setting sun casts golden hues over one of Ayutthaya’s most photogenic sites. Relax on your journey back as your guide shares more stories of Ayutthaya’s rise and fall.
